Scope:

This standard contains safety requirements for material, design, manufacture and testing of gaseous hydrogen compressor packages used in fueling station service. This standard applies to newly manufactured equipment designed primarily to provide compressed hydrogen for vehicle fueling stations.

This standard does not apply to compact hydrogen fueling systems (cHFS) with built-in compressors, compressor packages used for non-vehicular fuel applications (e.g. power generation units), or internal combustion engine driven compressors. 

This standard will align with the requirements in BNQ 1784-000 and NFPA 2.

Project need:

To update the Standard to reflect new technologies/stakeholder input.
